  • I'm running out of miracles
    Oh my soul
    And the streets alive with one-man shows
    Oh my soul
    Corner boys were moved along
    Oh my soul
    We're plummeting like crippled crows
    Oh my soul

    Oh, long before
    You and I were born
    Others beat these benches with their empty cups
    To the night and its stars
    To be here, and now, and who we are

    Another sunrise with my sad captains
    With who I choose to lose my mind
    And if it's all we only pass this way but once
    What a perfect waste of time

    The BMX apothecary
    Oh my soul
    The architect of infamy
    Oh my soul
    For each and every train we miss
    Oh my soul
    A bitter little Eucharist
    Oh my soul

    Oh, long before
    You and I were born
    Others beat these benches with their empty cups
    To the night and its stars
    To be here, and now, and who we are

    Another sunrise with my sad captains
    With who I choose to lose my mind
    And if it's all we only come this way but once
    What a perfect waste of time

    Another sunrise with my sad captains
    With who I choose to lose my mind
    And if it's all we only pass this way but once
    What a perfect waste of time

    Another sunrise with my sad captains
    With who I choose to lose my mind
    And if it's all we only pass this way but once
    What a perfect waste of time
